In the dhāraṇī it says: dìlì āduò sēngqiě dōulüè (帝隸阿惰僧伽兜略): The pronunciation of 阿惰 has the fanqie 從臥 [duò]. In Sanskrit it is *tri* (怛唎), which means 'three'; *adhva* (阿特嚩, two syllables combined), which means 'time/paths'; *saṅgha* (僧伽), which means 'assembly'; *tulya* (咄略, where the pronunciation of 略 has the fanqie 力蛇 [lě]), which means 'of the same kind'. Some write 阿㤢, and it is traditionally pronounced with the fanqie 於六 [yù]. Not only is the sound incorrect, but there is also no such character. The Sanskrit is *adhva*, and nowadays it is erroneously written as 阿㤢; in the course of transmission and copying, errors were made, changing 惰 into 㤢, which is an egregious mistake.
